In this paper, an analytical study has been carried out on a steady magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) Poiseuille flow of two immiscible fluids in a horizontal channel with ohmic heating in the presence of an applied magnetic field. The channel is divided into two sections, Region I and Region II, respectively. Region I contains an electrically conducting, third grade, non‐Newtonian fluid while Region II is a Newtonian fluid. The regular Perturbation series method is used to transform the coupled nonlinear differential equations governing the flow into a system of linear ordinary differential equations in both fluid regions. Suitable interface matching conditions were chosen to obtain separate solutions for each fluid in both regions and the results were displayed graphically for various values of physical parameters, such as pressure gradient, suction parameter, Hartmann number, Prandtl number, viscosity, and conductivity ratios to show their effects on the flow. The effect of skin friction and Nusselt number was shown with the aid of tables. The results obtained among other findings clearly shows that as the value of the magnetic parameter increases, the velocity and temperature of the fluid decrease.
